Some of the Sand Martins at Rodley were briefly alighting on the road surface. I am not sure whether they were looking for insect road-kill or collecting nesting material to re-line their burrows. However in this shot the bird looks like it is out for a rather ungainly Sunday afternoon stroll.
all this rain must be useful for some - not sure how well the elder flowers deal with it, but moss on this wall probably happy.

One of my photos made it on to the Springwatch gallery this week (via the red button on Sky).
Thank you ever so much Springwatch team for adding it :-)

Iolo Williams is one of Wales’s best-known broadcasters and presenter of the BBC’s Springwatch.
During his 15-year connection with Swansea University, Iolo has used his public profile to highlight environmental issues and helped the College of Science reach into the wider community.
Presenting the citation , Pro-VC Designate Professor Steve Wilks said: “Iolo demonstrates qualities that we seek to develop and encourage at all levels at Swansea University. He is community-centred, dedicated to communication and actively engaged in addressing real world problems.”
Iolo said of the honour: “I have worked closely with the university on several occasions and am in awe of the academic talent they have on campus. For someone like me, who was never an academic genius, to be given this award is a great honour.”
The broadcaster has presented more than 25 TV series in English and Welsh including Tir Cymru, a landmark S4C series on the landscape of Wales. Among his published works, Iolo co-authored Birds in Wales, the first book to collate all records of birds across the nation.

Iolo Williams yw un o ddarlledwyr enwocaf Cymru, ac yn gyflwynydd y rhaglen Springwatch y BBC.
Yn ystod ei gysylltiad 15 mlynedd â Phrifysgol Abertawe , mae Iolo wedi defnyddio ei broffil cyhoeddus i bwysleisio materion amgylcheddol a helpu’r Coleg Gwyddoniaeth i gyrraedd y gymuned ehangach.
Wrth gyflwyno’r wobr, meddai’r Athro Steve Wilks, Dirprwy Is-Ganghellor Dynodedig : “Mae Iolo yn dangos rhinweddau yr ydym yn ceisio datblygu a’u hannog ar bob lefel ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe. Mae’n gymuned-ganolog, yn ymroddedig i gyfathrebu ac wedi’i ymgysylltu’n weithredol mewn mynd i’r afael â phroblemau go iawn y byd.”
Ar ôl iddo dderbyn y wobr, meddai Iolo: “Rwyf wedi gweithio’n agos â’r brifysgol ar nifer o achlysuron yn y gorffennol ac wedi fy syfrdanu gan y ddawn academaidd sydd ar y campws. I rywun fel fi nad oedd byth yn athrylith academaidd, mae derbyn y wobr hon yn fraint fawr.”
Mae’r darlledwr wedi cyflwyno dros 25 o gyfresi teledu yn y Gymraeg a’r Saesneg yn cynnwys Tir Cymru i S4C. Ymhlith ei waith cyhoeddedig, roedd Iolo yn gydawdur y llyfr Birds in Wales, y llyfr cyntaf i goladu’r holl gofnodion am adar ar draws y wlad.
